Running Accomplishments:

Quantcast

 I ran for Utah State University for a few years from 1999-2002. I got a little burned out and took a break from running. Now 10 years later, I feel that there is still faster running left to accomplish. I started running again in mid-summer of 2012. I had a short spurt in 2009, but work got in the way.

Personal:

I am married and have a 5 year old little boy and a 2 year old little girl. I graduated from USU in aviation and worked as a pilot for many years. After subsequential furloughs and lay-offs due to the economy, I decided to go back to school. I then graduated from the nursing program at Boise State University. I now fly the University of Utah AirMed (Lifeflight) airplane base in Rock Springs WY.

We will call this race 2:38 or bust. And it was a bust. I took a chance and went out with a group of guys that were planning on running a sub 2:40. I went through the half in 1:17:31 which is a pr in the half. At this point I was alone and thinking that I likely went out to fast. I kept that pace until mile 17 or 18 then the wheels came off and it was over. I decided at this point to shut it down and save it for another race. I wish that I would have started out slower, but I am happy that I tried to go big. More to write later.
